Jang Woo-young expressed his true feelings about 2PM.

Jang Woo-young recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul "Currently, there is a stake of 2PM in the underground parking lot of JYP Entertainment's headquarters."Please wait a little longer for the full comeback."

Jang Woo-young has been with JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP) for 17 years since her debut as a group in September 2008, watching the company grow and develop more closely than anyone else. In particular, upon its debut in 2008, 2PM launched 'Heartbeat', 'Our House', 'Again & Again', '10 out of 10, 'Hands Up', 'I'll Be Back', 'Isn't that crazy?', He laid the foundation for global K-pop by releasing numerous hit songs such as "I Hate You".

In response, a question was asked about 2PM's contribution to JYP. Jang Woo-young said "Our building's underground parking lot is very deep. I think 2PM has done enough space to park in the building. Parking is important. I think a lot of my colleagues and juniors, including Jin-young, gave me a witty reply.

And then "I'm so happy to see DAY6." I'm so happy that it's getting better and better. It's also an honor to be in the same company. Not only these friends, but also overseas, and I feel like I'm with my friends who work as a team. Even if you're a junior, I think you'll feel similar. As a team, living in a dorm, sometimes the album goes well, sometimes it doesn't, so it's important to be with the team."

Then "Whenever I meet all my friends, as time goes by, I feel more interested. I can't memorize all the names, but I hope everyone is well and well. I feel that way. On the other hand, when you leave the company, you don't have to care about who's on the next floor upstairs, but because you're in the company, you think about this correctly and uprightly. I think it's a good stimulant," he said with a smile.

There are also quite a few fans waiting for 2PM's full comeback. No wonder, the last album released in Korea as a whole by 2PM was the 7th full-length album 'must' in 2021. In particular, fans are disappointed as there was no full comeback even in the 15th anniversary of their debut.

Jang Woo-young said, `In the past, when I met with the members, I talked a lot about the past and funny things, but when I meet them these days, I talk a lot about practical and realistic things. I always say, 'So what month? So what number? What number?' Then 'Who will do what first. Then ask your company and check this out.' It comes to an end. I can already see my heart from my seat. We want to do it, too. Desire is always burning."

In addition, "As the love for each other continues to grow, even if the time is not right, it should not lead to the authenticity of 2PM." I don't think that's a joke. Consideration, respect, and the heart is the same. As a result, the timing seems to be a little delayed. However, there are constant talks about the comeback. I'm also doing it in the group chat room. Please wait a little bit."

Jang Woo-young's 3rd mini album 'I'm Into' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
